More about the book
The book explores the Enlightenment's promise of escaping 'savagery,' arguing instead that it led to the commodification of humanity. Peter Harrison illustrates how the ideals of independence and autonomy were supplanted by a reality of dependence and labor, highlighting the paradox of progress in a market-driven society. Through this lens, he critiques the transformation of human value in the context of economic systems.
